2 Broke Girls ran for six seasons on the simplest of odd-couple set-ups: Max, a street-smart waitress who has never had money, and Caroline, a society heiress who has just lost all of hers. They share a shift, an apartment and a plan to bake their way out of being broke, with a cash total at the end of every episode to show how far they still have to go. This quiz covers the whole run. There are questions on the two leads and the diner regulars Han, Oleg, Earl and Sophie, on the schemes aimed at the neighborhood's hipsters, including the season one '90s party, and on the boyfriends, business setbacks and famous faces who dropped in along the way. A few look behind the scenes at the cast, the creators and the awards. It is pitched at fans who have seen the series through at least once. The opening questions are the gentlest, the later ones reward anyone who remembers individual episodes, and every answer comes with a short explanation.
